How to copy down model without changing names?

Hi,

I would like to copy my current flexsim model onto a new model. Is there a way to ensure the same of each object is not changing? It sames when you copies it down, Rack 632 may become Rack 126 randomly. Any help is appreciated!

Software Version:

FlexSim 16.1.0

You can do this by adding them to a visual object, then copying the visual object to the new model, then removing them from the visual object.

Step 1: Grab a visual object (like a plane).

Step 2: Shift select the objects you want to copy.

Step 3: From the dropdown menus at the top select View > Edit Selected Objects

Step 4: Highlight the visual object.

Step 5: Over on the right side is the Edit Selected Objects options, Click the "Move into Highlighted" button at the top.

Step 6: Copy the visual object into your new model

Step 7: Shift select the items again.

Step 8: Select View > Edit Selected Objects

Step 9: Click the button "Move into Model"
